"Dennis Smelly of LTC Brick and Stone did an outstanding job on our stone repair job and we highly recommend him. Dennis has been in the business a long time and has built the reputation that consistently earns him a 5 star rating. He is punctual and will let you know if he is running late for the appointment. Dennis was immediately able to determine that the workmanship on the stone installation was poor; the previous contractor used too much sand in the mortar so that it was not going to last. Before he started, Dennis dropped by to pick up a sample of the stone so that he could match it with the stone he needed to purchase. He was more concerned than we were about matching the exact color of the mortar! Looking at all the repairs now, you would never know that it ever needed repair. Itâ s beautiful and now, will last for years to come."

"The brick layers were very knowledgeable and experienced. They corrected an alignment problem I wasn't even aware of. They finished the project in three hours and I was very pleased with the results. They suffered through the rain to keep working. I would highly recommend R&M Masonry for any stone or brick project."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they’ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You’d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won’t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.
